We’ve said it before, but one of our favorite things here at Waze is hearing user stories about how Waze helps people in their day-to-day lives. Today we were treated to yet another one of those amazing stories.

In the past, Waze has been recommended as a tool to find the best hospital route for women in labor. But yesterday, for the first time, we caught wind of a clever husband who used Waze to do just that.

As a result, he was able to avoid traffic and get his wife to the hospital in good time to deliver the new baby Wazer.

(Don’t forget, we’re giving away swag for great stories like these. For more details, see here)

Every day we’re amazed at the stories we hear about how Waze came through in a crunch.

In the past several months, we’ve heard how Waze has guided women in labor to the hospital with the best route. Waze has also allowed parents to get to their children’s performances in time and even helped drivers avoid some big accidents in the nick of time. These stories make us feel pretty great and we want to hear more!

That’s why we’re announcing a new Waze initiative called Waze User Stories. Here’s how it works:

We want you to tell us your amazing Waze story here:  http://bit.ly/10B1dum

At the end of the month, we’ll pick a couple of stories we find particularly inspiring and feature them on our blog. We’ll even send the winners some swag for our favorite entries.

So how about it Wazers? Got a great story about how Waze helped you out on the road or in life? We wanna hear it! Also, feel free to send any accompanying pictures to stories@waze.com.
